Rating: 1/5 --
A terrible one-man-army action flick. The 2004 version is far more effective.
Fantastica Daily
Rating: 3/4 --
Carefully tended facial stubble trimmed to give him a skull-like appearance, Lundgren is truly impressive as a character defined by emotional emptiness.

Rating: 1/5 --
The only positive spin I can put on this movie is that if bad comic adaptations like it hadn't been done in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Marvel never would have needed to have its current, high-quality big-screen resurgence.

Rating: 1/5 --
Marred by cheeseball sets and special effects, lame fight sequences, and some of the worst acting ever to disgrace the screen.

Destructive, reprehensible, and marvellous fun.

Rating: B- --
It maintained a tongue in cheek attitude toward all the violence and hokum, which made it comic book lite and easier to take.

Often underrated comic-book adaptation that lacks the trademark skull logo but delivers the superhero presence that the Thomas Jane remake sadly lacks.

Product Description:
A veteran cop loses his family and almost his own life to a Mafia car bomb. Now a shadowy figure living for revenge lashes out at the crime world. Only the cop's ex-partner believes he survived the blast to become the punisher. But one thing is for certain, the guilty will be punished.
Plot Synopsis:
"The Punisher" details the exploits of the comic book antihero in his first and only screen outing.
After the mafia ices his wife and children, New York cop Frank Castle vanishes into the bowels of the city sewer system, nurturing his vengeance. He spends the next few years stepping out of and back into the urban shadows as he picks off Gotham's big-shot Italian gangsters.
Then Lady Tanaka, a smoldering Japanese crime-lord, enters this grim scene and heads begin to roll. Castle initially gets a kick out of her bloody antics and the newly cannibalistic underworld.
But when Tanaka and her cronies kidnap a rival's kids, Castle decides to intercede and show her exactly how killing is done in the Big Apple.
